I saw that story when it broke yesterday and my reaction was, what is really going on here? I thought the point of sex education was to teach people to have safe sex but also warn people about teenage pregnancy. Instead it appears that they went the opposite way here in terms of teaching the dangers of teenage pregnancy. I've heard of people who wanted children very badly, I don't have any problem with it. I've even heard teenage girls saying they want to have a child, but it was rare. This entire situation seems counter intuitive and counterculture to the direction society has been going here in the US. I'm all fine with counterculture in small doses but I sort of draw the line when it drastically impacts not just your life but your family's lives, and in this case the life of your soon to be born child.
It's not a fad or a cry for attention which is what this story seems to imply. If you don't have any friends go out for the rugby team or something, I hear the AV club sports a sufficient number of people who don't have anyone to love them, why don't you go hang out with them? But don't sleep with a cast out ex-pro football player who doesn't pay child support for all the children he's already fathered. That's just bad judgement, you're not gonna have a good time.
